Kitchen Obsession Anonymous

Two kitchen posts in one week? I bet you're all thinking she's at it again, about to start hating on her shoebox-puke-green kitchen. And you're mostly right. Because who wouldn't trade a shoebox-puke-green kitchen for this masterpiece. I had friends over for dinner last night and we all had to squeeze in - standing room only - while I cooked. It did have its benefits though - if I needed anything from the fridge while at the stove all I had to do was verbalize my request and the army of sous chefs passed in down the line. I digress...

The obvious I hate my kitchen spiel wasn't the only thing that lead to this post. Yesterday I spent a solid three hours helping a client choose hardware for multiple rooms in her new home including her kitchen and pantry. And let me tell you, there are there some really drool-worthy options out there. I'm particularly enamored with the hardware used in this kitchen - the edge bin pulls on the lower drawers and the latches on the upper cabinets. The oil rubbed bronze finish is also a lovely foil to the white on white on white happening in this space.

Two-inch thick Carrara countertops. I die. And let's all just take a minute to admire the raw wood vent hood.
